If you could add support for Presenter that would be great, it's similar to ProPresenter but more affordable for smaller churches.

At @bryce-seifert request, I'm posting my suggested requirements, as this is missing here so far:

What you would like to be able to make it do from Companion:

Direct links or attachments to the ethernet control protocol or API: none known, sorry.

I poked through their docs some, and their MIDI mapping settings seem to be the extent of the API presently. If I understand correctly, this would require extra software to set up a MIDI session to expose Worship Presenter via TCP-over-MIDI, then it would be simple to just write MIDI over a TCP socket.

This API would provide next/previous slide and next/previous service item (I assume this is what "plan item" refers to?). But it doesn't include the name of the current/next service or the ability to blank the screen.

Thanks for looking at this @jswalden. I wonder if someone with packet sniffing skills can tell whether there is a more direct API that the iOS remote control app uses? It seems unlikely that they'd be using MIDI for this.

Was working on this as well. I was messing with the generic midi module and got rtpmidi. Everything looks connected but I can't get it to fire the cue.
